is there an app that can close apps the way nougat does(long pressing the home button)? i'm on mm with a mi box. yeah i could go through the app settings and shut things down one at a time but that seems to be long handed. currently, i reboot when things get clunky but that too takes longer than the nougat feature.
Did you try going to Developer Settings and setting "Background processes" to 1 or 2 instead?
It'll do pretty much the same thing.
